Abstract

Vascular intervention for patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) and symptomatic limbs, particularly with tissue loss, is associated with poor outcomes. The aims of our study were to compare outcomes from arterial interventions for patients with CTD versus overall results for our unit and analyse available baseline patient characteristics to determine whether any features were associated with poor prognosis.
